70 for Adventist Medical Center Manila

I dispatched 70 earsavers to the Covid Unit frontliners of the Adventist Medical Center Manila. I made sure to deliver this just in time for my late friend Diane’s birthday. Words escape me when it comes to Diane. You may read more on our friendship here.

Making earsavers to commemorate a meaningful but short life gave the experience depth and love. I wish that Diane could see how she is inspiring me to live better even amidst uncertainty. As I share these earsavers to frontliners who are bravely fighting Covid-19, it is my hope that more people will also be inspired to help out.

Please consider volunteering for Earsavers for Lifesavers PH group! We are in need of crafters, delivery angels, and materials sponsors. No help is to small for a battle as big as Covid-19.

God bless us all!

Day 7: Yearn to Earn

I am currently blogging from home. While I do enjoy freelance research work, I miss working in an office. So, while I am looking for the best role to fit my qualifications, I am now focusing on self-improvement. I have uncovered my skills and shared with you how I attract blessings into my life.

Today, I will each you how to determine the ONLY five things you need to build your career or side hustle.

It is my second day of Susie Moore’s Side Hustle Prep School, which I have learned from her guesting at Melyssa Griffin’s Pursuit with Purpose podcast. I am not yet considering a side hustle at the moment, but it helps to take this short course because I want to know what skills I already have. I also want to know how these skills can help build my career so I can shine without trying too hard. After all, these skills are already innately in me and it would be fitting to optimize them for my own good.

You know the drill- I am sharing with you my actual answers to the workshop questions.

You only need five things to build your career or side hustle:

  1. An Idea.  List down what you’re good at, what you’re passionate about, and what people are willing to pay for.
  2. Community. List down who your mentors are (they may even be authors, podcast hosts, bloggers who influence you) and hustle buddies (who are in your support group?)
  3. An Understanding of Your Market.  List down who and what your pegs are. 
  4. A Goal of What You Want (even if it’s small!). List down what you really want to do in your life, your career, your business (if that’s your plan), education, etc.
  5. Time to work on your side hustle/career improvement/continuing education. List down a reasonable time to work on improving yourself and upgrading your skills. Take your current working hours and personal commitments into consideration so you won’t miss out on your priorities.

Rememeber, living deliberately will lead to a yearning for earning by doing what you consider to be meaningful. Focus on these five things to improve yourself and upgrade your career. Self-improvement never goes out of style, and it is an important part of self-care. 

Also, money and educational qualifications are important, but these five things are already available to you no matter what your circumstances are. Focus on these five things, and act on your goals today!
